How clever of Fred to dig a passage to Australia just in time for Jodie's blogmeet (with no ax murderers). Will that white shirt ever be the same?? If not, a fun time at the beach is worth a shirt or two. When do summer holidays start? By next term he'll have outgrown that shirt anyway. :>}Next week I'll be knitting socks at the beach, too!

That is so funny to read Lucy, when we were small ,here in sunny Australia, my mother would pack up us 4 girls and a few strays and take of to the beach in a big orange tent, for 6 weeks, Dad would take a fortnight off work and come for a while, and all the time he was there, we dug holes to CHINA!! Endless days of digging and burying Dad! -at least it stopped his feet getting sunburnt!
